Policy Resources

In 2019 CHANH partnered with the neighbourhood house of Ballarat to develop a complete, up-to-date Policy Suite for Neighbourhood Houses. The most recent version of this work can be found on the Ballarat Neighbourhood Centre Website. Access to the Word Version of this document can be arranged by liaising with BNC directly.
